Gillup /gɪ́ləp/ (male)

This name is often described with words like “deep,” “throaty” and “croak.” These descriptors, while accurate, are also quite reductive, because this successful marriage of Gill and Phillip is so much more than just the sound it makes. Like most names of this style, Gillup shows a clarity of vision and identity that stakes a firm claim at the intersection where the two names it is derived from meet. But whereas Gill and Phillip have never had anything more than mediocre showings on the global charts, Gillup is racing to the top faster than anyone expected.

“Thanks for your interest, Gillup, but I’m afraid we aren’t hiring right now.”
